Letaba Rest Camp, one of the oldest and largest camps in the Kruger Park – South Africa, is situated on a sweeping bend of the Letaba River. Many large predators in the vicinity make this ideal game viewing territory.

Letaba Camp comprises of guest houses, cottages, bungalows as well as huts, tent and caravan sites and furnished safari tents to choose from. All units are serviced daily and supplied with bedding, towels and soap.

The fifth largest rest camp in the park, Letaba Camp has a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. The units are comfortably spread out in spacious semi-circles facing the wooded lawns and the river beyond.

Letaba Rest Camp had been overhauled in recent years, and one of the most noticeable changes has been the upgrading of the camping site, with its expansive lawns, shady trees and spotlessly clean ablution blocks. Some visitors set up camp right against the fence, hoping for a close view of the game outside, such as the Spotted Hyena that readily patrol the boundary at night.

Visit the Elephant Hall and enrich your knowledge on the elephant’s social structure distribution and ecology, morphology and physiology, origin and evolution as well as their relationship with humans. There are 3-D displays giving an exciting visual in-depth background to elephants. The highlight of the exhibition is the impressive ivory collection, which includes the tusks of the legendary ‘Magnificent Seven’. The hall also serves as a general ecological information centre.
